P. 85. ADDITIONS TO OBITUARY. was The will of the late Earl of Kerry was proved in Doctors' Commons, July 23, by Eliza, wife of Rev. N. Hinde, clerk, the sole executrix. The property in the province of Canterbury, sworn to be under 18,000l. It is dated 27th January 1813; and commences with directions for an economical funeral, the Earl desiring to be interred in Westminster-abbey, in the same coffin with his late wife. The head verger and his assistants have a legacy of 50%. as a requital for the trouble it may occasion them. All real estates in England and Ireland, and shares of collieries in the county of Durham, are given to the Marquis of Lansdowne and his heirs for ever; as are also the Earl's claims upon the French Government for personal property, in plate, books, pictures, and furniture, confiscated and sold in Paris. These are stated to be particularized in a separate document, which is not however among the testamentary papers. The funded, property is made chargeable with a num ber of annuities and legacies, chiefly to servants; and the remainder is given to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The residue is left to his cousin Mrs. Hinde, (whose maiden name was Cramer.) There are three codicils, the last of which is dated Sept. 6, 1817, and states that some years ago the testator recovered an action at law, with costs and damages, against a Mr. Baxter, a carpenter, for the non-performance of a contract, which, however, the testator had voluntarily offered to mitigate, provided he would by the payment of the mitigated sum render further coercive measures unnecessary; that notwithstanding this lenity, he was so obstinate as not to comply with the offer, and the sentence of the Court was accordingly enforced; but not considering the pursuance of the judgment to the extremity (however great the provocation) to be strongly consonant to the mild principles of Christianity, the Earl bequeaths to the said Mr. Baxter and his heirs, the sum of 7007. sterling. -It is stated that the landed property bequeathed to the Marquis of Lansdowne is quite inconsiderable; it consists only of a farm in Ireland, which was reserved by the late Earl, when the remainder of the Kerry estate was sold, in consequence of having upon it the antient burial-place and monuments of the Lords of Kerry. P. 93. Mr. Beatniffe was a large purchaser of second-hand libraries, and his catalogue was well stored with good books. He was peculiarly blunt in his manners to his customers, and many anecdotes of his singularity in this respect are related. A Scotch Nobleman once called to purchase a Bible: the bookseller took one down, and named his price. "O mon!" quoth his Lordship, "I could buy it for much less in Edinburgh." "Then, my Lord," replied Mr. Beatniffe, replacing the volume on the shelf, and abruptly quitting his Lordship, "go to Edinburgh for it." But, notwithstanding these eccentricities, he is well spoken of by those who best knew him. He was the author of the entertaining little work, called "The Norfolk Tour," which he lived long enough to see go through six editions. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for September, 1818. By W. CARY, Strand.

P. 201. 1. 13. read Mr. JOSEPH BAKER. The Communications of Mr. MACDONALD; A.Z.; Z. A.; T. W.; C. L.; &c. &c. in our next. VIATOR'S Reply to the "Son of the late Rector of Quainton," may be very just; but it is anonymous,andmuch too long. We refer E. L. T. to the Libraries of Sion College, or the British Museum. The "Prymer of Salisbury Use," of which A. B. has sent us an account, is described in "Gough's British Topography," vol. II. p. 351. SCRIPTOR begs leave to correct a part of our Correspondent BYRO's account of Monmouth, p. 202. "Isca Silurum is placed there as the Roman station on which both Caerleon and Caerwent are at present situated. He probably meant Venta Silurum, for Caerwent is the station answering to that place, which is confirmed by its remains of antiquity, consisting of the foundations of temples, tesselated pavements, and walls. Many coins have been also discovered there. It no doubt formed a grand municipium to the Silures, of whom Tacitus (Ann. 12 lib. &c.) gives some information, and describes as being formerly very savage and ferocious. They are also mentioned by other later Roman authors, and if I am not mistaken, by Ptolemy and Antoninus." T. W. (reading our Correspondent's remarks, page 226, "on future Recognition,") has pointed out the following, as part of the Epitaph of the Rev. W. GILPIN at Boldre, in the New Forest: "Here it will be a new joy to meet several of their good neighbours who may now lie scattered in these sacred precincts around them:"- and that Bp. Watson observes, in his Anecdotes of his Life, "That the strongest texts in Holy Writ relative to it are, I Thessalonians, chap. ii. ver. 19. and 2d Corinthians, chap. i. ver. 14." When all the powers of the soul are perfected, surely we may permit ourselves to hope, and to live in the enjoyment of that hope-that we shall know even as we are known. LINCOLNIENSIS says, "In your Supplement (Part I.) for this year, I have read with pleasure the remarks of CiCESTRIENSIS. Much may be done in the way of suggestion by Architects; and, provided these suggestions be attended to by those in authority, all may yet be well. On this head I recommend to ViATOR and CICESTRIENSIS the Charge of the Archdeacon of Lincoln, in May last, wherethese points are forcibly insisted on." Mr. JOHN LAWRENCE having been lately informed that the regular Drill or Tullian Husbandry was introduced, many years since, into Surrey by Sir Rich. Wotton, wishes for information of the period at which Sir Richard resided in that county, in what part, with any particulars respecting his farming establishment and practice. On a passage in our last Magazine, p. 207, (Notwithstanding the almost infinite variety and great dissimilitude in the appearance, size, and qualities of the different species of dogs, yet it is admitted by every naturalist that they all spring from one parent stock') Mr. Lawrence observes, "such hypothesis has been, I believe, received implicitly by almost every Naturalist; among the moderns chiefly on the authority of the Count de Buffon. It appears to me, however, merely an opinion of authority, and one not likely to receive confirmation from practical habits among domesticated animals. I have hazarded a few observations on this subject in various places, particularly in the General Treatise on Cattle, and in the British Field Sports." A CONSTANT READER,who on examining various Heraldic Tracts in the British Museum, finds Mounteney's Plain, in the County of Norfolk, to be the place of residence of the antient family of de Mounteney, asks whereabouts in Norfolk Mounteney's Plain is situated. CHRONONOTONTHOLOGOS inquires for the authority of the well-known line, "Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis." He finds it quoted by a Scottish author in 1560, but has searched in vain for it in the Roman Classics. P. S. wishes to know if it was ever considered practicable to drain any of the Lakes in Cumberland or Westmoreland. Many of them are much above the level of the Sea. A Correspondent would wish to be informed in what Books he may find an account of the principal Medicinal Waters within 20 miles of London, and whether any of them resemble the sulphureous Harrowgate Water. A FRIEND TO MECHANICAL CHIMNEYSWEEPING earnestly requests the Friends of that method to promote Petitions to Parliament for the Abolition of the Practice of employing Children to Climb Chimneys, from those places where Petitions were not sent last Session. The subject will doubtless be brought forward soon after the meeting of Parliament. |
